Billy nor David have returned my emails.
At KP2001, I'd like the movie triology as well, but didn't Family Guy start off with this kind of talk as well?(Dun Dun Dunnnnn)

These rumors, hearing about Arrested Development's renewal, and seeing Revenge of the Sith in one week has made me very happy. Anyway, I'm up to something here...
If a Futurama movie was greenlit, say, next week, how long do you think it would take? If, as the original rumor stated, Matt really did have the scripts written, how much longer would it take? After scripting, there's storyboarding, dialogue recording, anamatic, coloring, ADR, editing, and scoring. Now, it takes 9 months to produce an episode, but that's with 21 other episodes in production. Logically, a 90 minute movie, assuming they worked as diligently and the animation quality was similar to that of the show, would take about 1/4 that time, right?
I'm not factoring into this finding and training a new team of animators. So my real question is this: At what point was Futurama officially given the go ahead by FOX? And did Futurama sit on the shelf for a while before its March 1999 premiere?
I'm wondering if all of the voice actors would return. I strongly believe Billy West, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, and Tress MacNeille would. Katey Segal has some time on her hands now that 8 Simple Rules is cancelled. Frank Welker does everything (if he's even needed). So what are Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and Dave Herman up to these days? How are their schedules?
I probably should have saved this long winded post until we had more information, but I'm bored...

@j_o- Go to vh1.com and search for the voice actors and see what they've been doing lately. It shows just about everything they've done and what they're going to do in the near future. Search the name under "movies".
Okay, I looked some stuff up. Lauren isn't doing much, Phil has been kinda active with Shark Tale and Justice League, Dave hasn't been active since Father of the Pride, and John, Billy, and now Katey are pretty much open, but Billy does Looney Toons and such, but we all know he'd want to come back and do some Fry, Zapp, Farnsworth, Zoidberg, and his other voices again. And I'm pretty sure Maurice and Tress are open.

I would love anything, I guess my preference is movies because I don't see another Season being as good. I'll take what I can get, but I'll hold the excitement until things go ahead...

How sweet would a DTV Futurama movie be? There are so many solid possibilities for feature-length stories. And the possibility of a trilogy? Too cool to even wonder about just now... A DVD movie with commentary and a few deleted scenes and all that jazz?

I wonder if the new DVD "Monster Robot..." is a test of what they are considering. The equivalent of about 4 TV episodes on a single disc rather than a feature-length, multi-disc set. 3 discs would be close to a season's TV episode run. What's the run time of an episode on DVD without commercials? Better yet, what's the runtime available on a single DVD disc?

Let me just say this for saying this purposes: I watched the commentary to TDHAIP again today. I took notice to what Matt said at the end. He said someting on the lines of "see you on the next DVD". Obviously, his plan is working out. And please don't make a smart-ass comment like "No!? Really?!" about this. Also, I listened to the table reading of TDHAIP. I thought that some of the jokes, such as the Bohemian Rhapsody reference, were very funny. What I'm getting to is if a new season doesn't happen, how about they make the original script versions of some episodes and release them to DVD? Remember that Dotslash Effect thing? What about the Cinescape Effect?

Leave "The Devil's Hands" the way it is. After listening to the table read for that episode, I'd say the that the vast majority of the stuff that didn't make it in was well left out.

Mosied over to the RDS Board. Is it just me or does it seem like the talk is now less and less like it's just a rumor?
